Great piece Helvi
I was able to read through it without the instructions and I think this is probably the best entry I've seen for this contest. Your word choices were fantastic and the layout/design was unique and perfect. Good luck in the contest.

This is fantastic! Highly inventive and truly a graceful swan. I love how you wrote the curvature right in...and the blue water line phrases at the bottom are a perfect addition. This is very creative and imaginative. Surely it might compete well in the contest. (Darn, and I thought my entry was good. This one is better!)

Good luck!

Warm Regards,
rama devi

I'm going to give you a six for uniqueness because I think that this is the first poem I've read that is like this. I wish you all the best in the contest

Hi bbb, Thank you so much!!! I done several poems like this, a ballerina,snowflake,flower butterfly and two acrostic hearts for valentines day. I think the reason I started this was, not only to have imagery from the words, but an image you could visually see. I'm glad you enjoyed . I appreciate the six stars and your wishes for the contest very much. ... Helvi :o)

well it is delicate, i love the swan visual and the poem is so descriptive with so many great words, it has a soft edge to it but i think it is very good

I have to honestly say, I've been pretty underwhelmed by the entries in this contest. The pics aren't very creative and most seem overly simple. But this, my dear, looks more like what I had in mind for this contest. I must bow to the queen of visual poetry. Ha! A winner, for sure, in my opinion, and a sure sixer.

Thanks Josipher, When I started this, my whole goal was to really create a shape. I didn't want to create something that resembled something, I actually wanted to create it. I had no idea if I had any talent to pull it off, but I thought I'd give it a try So far, I am very pleased with the results and the response. Thank you for being my #1 supporter and for the incredible six star review. I am truly honored ...and I havev't forgotten about creating that book. Many HUGS, Helvi :o)

Mama Mia!!!!!!! Wendyanne this has taken off more than I ever imagined. Thank you so much!!! After receiving a three last night. I didn't know what to think? Jewell brightened my day before I went to bed with a six and now you've blessed me with a six too, followed by three more. I am exteremly honored to receive any of them and your review among them makes my heart sing. Bless You!!!! Helvi :o)

Yuo've got to be joking! Three stars for this fantastic poem style like a swan. Who was it? They need their head testing if they can't see how great this is.

All they could see were the @'s I used in the formatting and suggested I use something else. I tried explaining I've tried different formats and this works the best. I received another note this morning suggesting other alternatives. They can't seem to see beyond that.....But they are only one person. I'm receiving a lot of SMILES TODAY!!!!!


Thanks for caring... BIG HUG!!!
Helvi :o)

Hi jewell, Thank you for just cheering me up. I just got a three because someone didn't like the fact I used these ..@.. for fill-ins. It hurts a little, but you have to deal with it. I also have a snowflake, ballerina, butterfly, flower and I won the FS Valentine Contest by linking two acrostic hearts..feel free to look at those if you like.This is something I just started at the beginning of the year. Thank you so much for the sixes my friend. I feel honored receiving them from you.Thank you so much for your kind words. Bless Your Heart Hugs, Helvi :o)

I understood how to read this and it is very good. however, using the@ makes it intrusive you need to use different punctuation

Hi smoke eye,I have tried all kinds of ways to create these designs with different punctuation. If you use any other punctuation or letters it looks strange. You wouldn't recognize what your looking at. Would you mind taking another look? It would mean a lot. Thanks Helvi :o)

reply by smokyeye on 20-Jul-2008

What about brackets or parentheses for before and after text and wxclamation pints when you use 3@@@ in a row? The @ is too obvious and the eye only concentrates on that

Well the poem is good. I like how the words are position. It defiantly make me think of swans. Oh have you tried to fix the picture in mspaint, it's a paint program that should be on your computer.
